I retired from the Internet-Gaming scene, the stuff got way too addictive for me, and i cant go on like this, because its threatening my health and my ability to live my life. I'm particularly a wreck, unable to perform simple tasks or fulfill given assignments because of the total absence of motivation, I'm in ambulant treatment by a Psychologist and I joined a group of people with the same addiction which try to get rid of their gaming-habit.
I was playing pc-games extensively for almost 10 years and i paid a high toll, now I'm sitting in front of the wreck, that was my life and i got 2 chances: Make it or break on it, I hope for the first one, but if I cant make it, I will go with the latter.
I will cut the internet access on my laptop to help me to overcome this habit, i will have internet access on another computer to do necessary stuff (i need to find a new flat, i need to schedule dates with my therapist etc), I hope that i will overcome my habit and that i can be an example for other gaming-addicts, quitting the internet-gaming hurts like hell and i already miss sooo many people even though I'm not even gone yet, i wish all you people, that have been around with me the best of luck and maybe we can see each other again under happier circumstances.

Bad news, my bike is broken, good news it wont cost me more than 400 Euros to fix it *OH LAAAAAAAAAAWDS*

FreakStock rocked me totally! If you want some impressions, check out youtube with the search phrase "FreakStock 08", there are some really cool vidz out.
Relationship status: "occupied" ;)
The fascination on gaming is losing its grip on me veeeeeeeeeeery slowly, but as my real life gets more and more exciting i feel a lot less forced to sit down at my pc again, in fact i havent had it on for anything but some music for 30 days now! So to all you "i want to stop gaming but i cant" ppl out there, give it a try, its so worth it!
